Go Campers vs Rent.is

Go Campers organizes its fleet across five segments — budget/compact, medium, large, 4x4 and F-road capable, and rooftop tent vehicles — and builds and maintains its campers in-house at its Reykjavik facility. This in-house approach means their vehicles follow a consistent build standard across categories. Rent.is takes a different approach to breadth, offering roughly 18 distinct model lines that span compact campers, 4x4 roof-tent and Crosscamp vehicles, California-style vans, larger panel vans, and full motorhomes. Rent.is claims the largest campervan fleet in Iceland, and its motorhome category is a notable differentiator for travelers seeking a larger, more self-contained vehicle.

The two vendors differ in how trip-ready their vehicles are out of the box. Rent.is vehicles generally come with sleeping, water, and furniture equipment included as standard, while Go Campers treats some of these as partial inclusions or optional add-ons — sleeping gear, cooking equipment, water systems, and furniture may require checking what is included with your specific booking or adding extras at checkout. Both vendors include heating, cooling, and power systems as standard, and both offer Wi-Fi as an optional add-on.

From a market positioning standpoint, Go Campers operates as a locally rooted Reykjavik-based company founded in 2014 that has served over 400,000 explorers and runs a visible sustainability program through Kolvidur reforestation. Rent.is, founded in 2012 near Keflavik Airport, positions itself on fleet scale and insurance transparency, with 24/7 operations and a free airport shuttle. Both are well-reviewed: Go Campers holds a 4.7 rating on Google from 2,345 reviews, while Rent.is carries a 4.7 on Trustpilot from 964 reviews, giving prospective renters substantial feedback to consult on either platform.
